HC Deb 12 August 1966 vol 733 cc465-6W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that the firm of Securicor are currently advertising in the national Press for staff at rates of pay now under review with increases pending; and, as this firm's directorate and their trade union employees support the Government's wage standstill, what action he has taken or proposes to take to ensure that the wage standstill is implemented so far as these employees are concerned.

Mr. Gunter

I am informed by Securicor Limited that general pay increases for their employees were implemented before the 20th July, 1966, that they intend to comply with the White Paper on the Prices and Incomes Standstill (Cmnd. 3073) and that they have no knowledge of current advertisements which imply otherwise.
